Another object of the present invention is to provide a sachet comprising, material treated with perfume, a transparent container having said perfumed material therein, and said container being sealed and provided with openings therein to permit the perfume scent to escape therefrom.

Other and further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description thereof and from the claims appended thereto.

In the drawing, wherein like numerals refer to like 01' corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure l is a front elevation of the sachet embodying the features of the present invention;

Figure 2 is a rear elevation of the sachet shown in Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Figure 2 in the direction of the arrows; and

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of Figure 2 in the direction of the arrows.

Referring now to the drawing, the numeral generally represents the sachet comprising the present invention and includes a cellophane bag generally represented by the numeral 11, which bag 11 has a front wall or portion 12 and a rear wall or portion 13. In front wall 12 there are provided a plurality of small apertures 14 which are spaced apart and which permit scent to escape from within said bag 11.

A plurality of pine burrs 15 are disposed within the transparent bag 11, which small pine burrs 15 have been saturated with a perfume of lasting fragrance, for example, Wild Rose.

The bag 11, as indicated, may be made of cellophane or any other transparent material. It is preferred to employ transparent material for bag 11 so that the pine burrs are readily visible within the bag.

Cellophane bag 11 may be of any desired size or shape, but as shown, it is approximately 2.75 inches wide and 3.25 inches in length. Said bag 11 is not per se a part of the present invention, and includes a sealed end portion 16 and an end portion 17 which is open 2,720,419 Patented Oct. 11, 1955 to permit the perfumed burrs 15 to be disposed within the bag 11, with said end portion 17 then being folded upon itself one or more times and stapled in sealed position with staple 18 which additionally anchors tag 19 to the end portion 17 of bag 11. The tag 19 carries descriptive writing indicating that the sachet has a particular perfume fragrance and also any additional advertising matter.

Referring to Figure 2 of the drawing, attention is directed to the apertures 20 which appear in the rear wall 13 of bag 11. These rear apertures 20 are preferably similar in size, shape and disposition with reference to apertures 14 in the front wall 12 of said bag 11. In other words, an aperture 14 and an aperture 20 may be made with one stamping operation.

As further shown in Figure 2 of the drawing, the cellophane bag 11 is sealed along the area 21 on the rear wall 13 of said bag.

In making the sachet which comprises the present invention, the cellophane or other transparent bag 11 is first apertured in the front and rear walls thereof to provide apertures 14 and 20. The pine burrs 15, after being saturated in a perfume of lasting fragrance, are disposed Within said bag 11, through the open end portion 17. End portion 17 of bag 11 is folded upon itself to seal the same, and held in sealed position by staple 18 which additionally anchors tag 19 firmly to end portion 17 to provide a complete seal at said end portion 17 and permit the fragrance of the perfumed pine burrs 15 to escape only through apertures 14 and 20.

While it is preferred to employ small pine burrs as the vehicle for the perfume, other small burrs, pods, or seeds may be used. If desired, other materials, such as paper mache, may be used to absorb the perfume.

Various modifications of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and it is therefore desired to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
